When you’ve decided that you want black sclera contact lenses, for whatever reason, you are half way there. Next you need to find out what kind of black contacts suit your specific needs. With most colors you have tons of choices of shades, styles and designs, but with black contact lenses there really aren’t a lot of different options, but you still need to go through the ones that are available and make your choice. Here we will briefly go over some of the most popular choices for black contacts and let you decide.
Dolly Black Contacts
There are black contacts that cover the scelra with black and dark grey. They are made from hyrdogel terpolymer which is very close to be skin-like, for added comfort. The base curve is 8.6 and the diameter is 14.
You can wear them for about a month if you plan on wearing them a lot, or they will last about 3 months if you only wear them occasionally during that time.
Many times someone will buy black contacts during October and wear them for a while after to parties, trick or treating, costumes parties, etc, so these will work great for that type of time period. These are available through www.colorvuelens.com.
Black Sclera Contacts
These are unique black colored contact lenses that will cover your entire eye. They can be seen as the same style that the possessed/infected wore for the HBO show True Blood about vampires. They have a ton of uses with your imagination truly being the limit.
They are available through www.coastalcontacts.com and because of the seasonal nature of black contacts you can’t return them, so they are a complete final sale. This is to prevent people from buying them during Halloween and returning them after only 1 use.
They are 100% FDA approved and are considered theatrical grade contacts, not for extended wear. They have a 9.0 base curve and 22.0 diameter. You can get them in virtually any prescription power you need.
Black-Out Contact Lenses
These are as dark as they get, and for you want no color whatsoever to be shown. It colors your sclera and iris totally black as can be without blinding you, and really gets that evil look down perfect.
When you wear these it will be hard for people not to stare and wonder if you are wearing a costume, or if they should be truly worried! They are available from www.pierresilber.com for about $70. It’s not real clear on how many you get, but I assume it’s only 1, so it would be $140 a pair.
If your goal is to go totally black then these will fit that purpose perfectly.
